Sarina replied to Sarina's discussion 'nutritional scale' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Well, I wanted to get an eatsmart nutrition scale. But it was out of my price range so I looked up some others and got the 3480L BL scale. Because it weighs liquids too.I thought this would help me to know more exactly how many carbs I am eating at…"
Sarina commented on Sarina's blog post 'I'm back'"I am still dependent on using a two wheeled walker. I can't drive and I have a wheelchair but I can't use it because my house has two steps to get outside. How do I go grocery shopping and carry bags home with a walker? I really don't…"

Theresa commented on Sarina's blog post 'The story of me.'"Wow, I am so sorry to hear you had such a rough time, mostly alone as a teenager, with your diabetes care.

Type 1 since 1968. I remember my dad taking me to the doctor up until I was thirteen. He used to make charts for me in a little notebook so I could write down the results of the clinitest. And the majority of the time I skipped the test. I could never go pee on schedule. I started going to camp when I was thirteen. It was camp Ko Man Chee.in Ohio. I don't know if that is spelled right.

I have a few diabetic cookbooks and most of the recipes have foods that I never have or the protein amount is more than I need for that meal. I would like to find a cookbook that could really help me stay on a good eating plan and also had recipes that my son would like to. He's really not that hard to please. Also I am living on low income.

I'm a 37 year vet of diabetes myself. My dad gave the fast shots where he jabbed i\the needle in and then it was over no pain. My mom??? She took the slow way (as to not hurt me for some reason she thought the slower she want thebetter it was for me. THEY HURT!!!!!!!) After about a month of that I done my own shots too. I got diabetes when I was 10. I will be 49 my birthday.
